I'm getting ready to dump Charter cable; I bought the sales pitch from Dish Network which included free equipment and installation. I'm still trying to figure out what the catch is. I'll be able to directly compare satellite vs. that allegedly horrible, analog and highly compressed digital cable channels. Charter PQ has always been a question mark, but I expect to answer that question real soon.I ordered dish over the phone and let them worry about installation arrangements. A local dealer tried to talk me out of it suggesting horror stories about "free" installations. I'll find out what happens this Sunday.
As a side benefit, the Dish HD receiver I'll be getting is supposed to have DVI. If so, this would give me a chance to see how well DVI works with a probable mass-market source. It'd be even better if it could upsample standard broadcast to 720p...
